Dropbox

This lesson explains how a SpreadsheetWeb Legacy application can connect to Dropbox. The connector provides a controlled way to move files or application output into a Dropbox account as part of a business process. The video shows where the integration fits in an application and how a configured connector makes the external storage action available without requiring the end user to work directly in Dropbox.

Use this pattern when a workflow needs to archive generated files, place documents in a shared folder, or hand application output to another process that monitors Dropbox. Before configuring the connector, decide which Dropbox account and destination folder should be used, identify the application values or files that will be sent, and use an account with only the access the workflow requires. Run a test submission and confirm the filename, destination, and file contents before making the connector available in production.
